Jimbo:
Not clear what the road tax increase to us will be - the top (1% of the newest most poluting vehicles) band will be £210 per year !

He didn't specifically mention 4x4's either.......

Rich_P:
He didn't mention 4x4s, because it was the media which stirred things up.  Apparantly Mr.Brown never accused 4x4s.

Disco Geordie:
According to the bbc review of the budget only applies to cars registered from today :cry:

ChrisW:

--- Quote ---a new higher band of graduated VED (band G), set at £210 for petrol cars, will be introduced for the most polluting new cars (those above 225g of carbon dioxide emissions per kilometre);

• the VED rate for the small number of cars with the very lowest carbon emissions (band A) will be reduced to £0 to encourage take-up and assist the development of the low carbon car market;

• VED rates will also be reduced for band B by £35 and C by £5, frozen for bands D and E, and increased by £25 for band F;

• rates for pre-2001 registered cars and light goods vehicles in the lower band will be frozen with the higher band increased by £5;

• the reduced rate of graduated VED for alternative fuel cars will be extended to include those cars manufactured to run on high blend bioethanol (E85); and

• In total, 50 per cent of cars will see their VED frozen or reduced.Three million cars will pay VED of £100 or less.

Cherry Bomb:
Excuse me for being thick but.......

Does that mean if our truck was registered before 2001 we're looking at a £5 increase in road tax??
